Managing your
inventory within a CMMS has enough advantages to take the
time to include this module in your initial CMMS
implementation or add on at a later date. When the
maintenance department is planning for a special project or
a preventive maintenance (PM) tasks come due. The
maintenance personnel can check stock for the materials they
will need.
If the
materials are not available, the maintenance personnel can
create a request to purchase the materials. Once the request
is submitted the user can track the status of of the
purchase request from being approved - in order - delivered
- invoiced - finished.
If the
materials were available, the user can reserve them for
their work order. Once the reservation is in place and the
work approved the spare part's department can run the pick
list report and pull the items for all reservations when the
materials are needed.
